Oh, and in that time I've even done more wedding planning. Jeez, we've been through a lot during this recap. Anyway, I planned the rehearsal dinner menu with the restaurant. I kept asking for free things to be thrown into the cost until eventually the man asked me to come back when the owner was going to be around. Gah. I always push it too far! Whatever, I totally got the crab cakes on the menu.
Lane cleans Luke's dark diner because she's the only person in Stars Hollow who actually works forty hours a week. MfTL storms in and pouts over to Lane, saying he needs to talk to her. He says that Lane has known him for two years and knows his good and bad moments. She's even seen him cry during Dances With Wolves; not even his parents have seen him do that. He says that she of all people should know that it takes him a while to process things. It took him a long time to get the chord progression in "Brian's Tune." (Gone: The Mr. Show DVD that Stee was watching on the plane. I do hope someone turns in his CD holder. The new Björk, Grandaddy, Postal Service, Dizzee Rascal, Mudvillain, the new REM, The Shins: I'm saying, what Stee lost would send Seth Cohen into a drooling, fetal mess.) MfTL: "Now, I may not be fast, but that's what we're dealing with here. And this issue with me and you is going to take longer than a chord change. Okay?" He says he hopes Lane wasn't expecting An Officer and a Gentleman just then. You know what's crazy? Just that very afternoon I got this letter:
Dear Pamie,
Love your Gilmore Girls recaps. I missed a few episodes last year and was a bit out of loop on some things. Your recaps are the only ones I found detailed enough to satisfy my need to know more than just the basic gist of what happened. One thing I didn't find, though: did Lane and Dave officially break up? Or did they just never talk to each other after Lane's mom tried to have her send him that jug that she thought was the marriage jug? It doesn't seem like that was resolved. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Kelly
To which I replied:
Dave "moved to California" for college, but since The O.C. became the biggest show ever, they just stopped talking about Dave entirely. Unfortunately. I keep hoping this means when Gilmore Girls is cancelled, Dave will bust in all An Officer and a Gentleman-style, pick Lane up and carry her into the sunset.

Just in case they're looking for a volunteer to write that episode, I'm totally raising my hand right now. Lane and mfTL say they're clear and good. Lane asks if he's hungry. He is. She asks what he wants, propelling him into another tantrum, asking for a minute. Lane runs to the other side of the counter, giving her slow boyfriend plenty of oxygen that might reach his brain. Lane smiles, happy that someone likes her again. I wish Lane got to go to college and meet real boys. I mean, come on. How is this better than what she had with Dave? It isn't! And why does mfTL need to move his head to think? mfTL's bouncing like he's trying to move around all of the synapses to make them fire.
